    The Jamal Adams trade in retrospect

    Speculative comments with rear view vision regrets do not represent a candid opinion. Jamal Adams was a very young all pro (higher distinction than pro bowl) defensive play maker (drafted #6 overall). His natural instincts were like a shark with blood in the water. The fact that he was a...

    The Jamal Adams trade in retrospect

    Nice view points...the bear defensive front featured number 46 Plank...a hard hitting safety who disrupted plays near the line of scrimmage...Jamal Adams is a disruptor whose quick get off when placed at the line of scrimmage also poses a real threat to making QB's uncomfortable. Fielding 3...

    A Deconstruction and Chronicle of Pete's Defense

    Pete is more traditional than risky...but he's a man who knows he has more energy than most his age...so age acknowledgement can open one's views to include a little more risk for desired achievements.

    The Jamal Adams trade in retrospect

    Injuries are always the wild card that sometimes plague the best of what if's/could of's. The defense that Pete/Clint are trying to implement would thrive with a Jamal Adams type player playing a significant role. A player cannot undo the hand of fate dealt in his recent past...but Jamal now has...

    A Deconstruction and Chronicle of Pete's Defense

    Amazing blame and angst from a fan base. Finding fan based excuses why our defense has struggled seems like an exercise in futility. The NFL has forced defenses to be in a state of flux by messing with/adjusting rules to "stack" elements of ruining dynasties while propping up offensive minded...

    D Gives Up 17 play TD Drive to Preview Season

    Amazing how much stock fans put in pre-season ...its merely the time to evaluate roster cuts for positions undecided on or keeping the best depth pieces. Starters who play seldom have roster positions on the line and are playing vanilla versions of offensive and defensive schemes...its to get...

    D Gives Up 17 play TD Drive to Preview Season

    Understand your ire concerning Jalen (The Eagles will thank us) but I understand if Pete and John loved what they saw enough to pull the trigger then see what develops with the Spoon pick. Two to three excellent corners has to be a luxury to be enjoyed if our Offense really clicks the way JSN...

    Charbonnet will be RB1?

    Your points support your narrative. My response was to the original post utilizing your source. The comps I made between Ken Walker III rookie season to Jonathan Taylor still stand...Walker III played 15 games (starting 11 games) 228 rushes for 1050 yds (4.6 per attempt) with longest being 74...

    Charbonnet will be RB1?

    Definitely a pre-season conversation. Walker's rookie year was very comparable to Jonathan Taylor of the Colts (behind a better O-Line)...would you really take snaps away from Taylor? Ken Walker III was the most explosive RB in the entire NFL last year...is this really a conversation?

    Our "game speed" duo, Bobo and McIntosh

    You were definitely right about those two...I knew DK was a draft gift but Lockett was too. We are blessed with many WR types so a role for Jake Bobo can be carved out...his lack of track speed makes it hard for him to be an elite NFL WR but in the end it's how he benefits the team and how Shane...

    R.I.P. Sean Dawkins

    Prayers and condolences to those who knew him best as family and friends.

    Eskridge suspended

    Amazing the pile ons that occur with "news" ...so quick to have laughs at another's expense. We have some difficult roster cuts coming up and his suspension is similar to the old 6 game effect of putting a player on the PUP list prior to starting the season. Injuries and suspensions are the...

    YAC. Tired of taking heat over it.

    He was prefacing his expectations of how he knew the fan base at large would react to his post...not an individual. I would desire to see his source for stating Tyler said YAC doesn't matter...and what his high school coach told him...it would provide something meaningful to respond to.

    3 Headed Monster!!!

    The nice thing about having Wags is style by example. His communication has strengths enhanced by experienced play recognition...Jordyn Brooks still accumulating that ability...like Brooks nastiness when he blows up a hapless RB. We got Bobby back and pairing him with Devin Bush or Brooks (when...

    YAC. Tired of taking heat over it.

    Your frustration is evident by your characterization of Tyler as not feeling the need to compete...a bit harsh by your own style of posts so I see you wanting more. His fellow receivers rave about him being a role model ...he plays a key role in making our offense hum and clutch catches means...

    3 Headed Monster!!!

    Very nice article on expectations for run fits. The common element for Dre (3T) Reed (NT) and Edwards (4i/5T) is penetration behind the line of scrimmage to blow up run plays before they get going and accumulating Tackles For Loss as a result. That kind of penetration also puts the QB under...

    YAC. Tired of taking heat over it.

    K-Mac has clutch hands so he could definitely play a role if Waldron wants to use a screen game to punish aggressive defenses (like opponents do to our aggressive defense). JSN's arrival also means guys like Dee Eskridge/Dareke Young (both flash athleticism in bunches) might carve out a role as...

    Hawks are addressing the inside D...

    His hitting is more like a safety (more Earl Thomas than Kam Chancellor). If he hits like Sherm...and tackles like Sherm those would be strong enough compliments for run support.

    Geno Smith real deal? ...or just a flash?

    You hit on the key...long sustained drives gives us the advantage of time of possession...definitely something we've been lacking.

    Geno Smith real deal? ...or just a flash?

    Very sound reasoning. If by system you mean he plays well within the wide spread offense similar to his days at West Virginia then I agree...Waldron's offense seems tailored to Geno's strengths. We addressed some defensive needs in the draft...but the offensive selections allows Shane to...
